I'd greatly appreciate it if you could expand on this suggestion.
Even when you create the dictionary anew each time, it will have (almost) "u+a" complexity. However, the dict might be cachable in volatile variables (i.e. "_v_" variables). As it is not my problem, I am a bit reluctant to search for optimazation possibilities.
